16 CONGRESS WILL PASS ON ORDER TO ARM SHIPS Extra Session Will Take Up Neutrality Measure on Con vening Next Month By Associated Press Washington, March 10.—Uncertain ty felt about the Capitol for the last week over an early session of Congress was replaced to-day by preparations for the special session called by Pres ident Wilson for April 16, five weeks from Monday, to consider appropria tion bills and other important meas ures on which final action was not taken before adjournment of the Six ty-fourth Congress last Sunday. The new body probably will be ask ed to consider the armed neutrality bill specifically authorizing President Wilson to arm American ships and appropriating funds for the purpose, despite the President's decision yes terday that he already has executive power to put navy guns, gunners and ammunition aboard merchantmen. Organization in Doubt The organization of the new House cannot be told at this time, for a majority is 2IS, and the standing is. Republicans, 215; Democrats, -14, Prohibition-Progressive, Progressive- Protectionist, Socialist and Independ ent, one each; vacancy In Democratic district, one. Both Republican and Democratic leaders declare they will have support from enough of the so called Independent group to control the organization. The new Senate is Democratic by a majority of 1-. May Sit Eighteen Months Speaker Clark believes Congress will find so much work before it that it will continue in session until August, 1918.

Among the measures which failed in the last Congress, strongly urged by the administration, are the railroad labor bill, Webb for eign selling agency bill, conservation and land leasing measures, and acts to enlarge the Interstate Commerce Commission and give wider powers to the shipping board. British Tommies Snug Under Gigantic Bit of Buried Stovepipe By Associated Press Toronto, March 10.—A recent Inven tion adding to the comfort of the Brit ish and Canadian field forces at the French front is described in a dispatch received here to-day from London. It is known as the "issen hut"—a semi circular shelter with the appearance ot a gigantic bit of stovepipe that is buried in the earth and containing doors and windows. There is room for 25 men in each. A thousand of these huts are under order. The convenience of transportation and the speed with which they can be erected enable men hitherto forced to sleep in the open during an advance to obtain shelter. Already the hut is the subject of an army song, "Put Me in My Little Nis son Bed."

Prof. Noyes Thrills Big Crowd With His Poems Those who were fortunate enough to find standing room in Fahnestock Hall yesterday afternoon were thrilled by the poet. Prof. Alfred Noyes. Here I was to appear one of the world's great est poets and men of letters to read choice bits of his work, and that Har rlsburg's cultured meant to see and hear was evidenced by the crowd that tilled the hall long before 4 o'clock, flowed out' into the corridor and down the steps to the street. Professor Noyes gripped his audi ence from the moment he was intro duced by the Rev. Lewis S. Mudge, pas tor of Pine Street Presbyterian Church, and held them, enthused, expectant,— on edge, as it were, —until he walked off the platform. The poet's versatility was an out standing feature of the afternoon's reading. One moment the audience be held the horrors of war, the next, the beauty of a May day. "The Admiral's Ghost," the theme having been sug gested by the daring Drake, was Pro fessor Noyes' first reading. The traw ler's work, In guarding the coast of England from the ravages of the Ü boats, was graphically portrayed in two readings of virile rhythm. "Forty Singing Seamen," one of the poet's best, was given with the en thusiasm and exuberance of youth. The applause that greeted its rendition was deafening. Had not Dr. John Grier Hibben, President of Princeton Unl verstly, who was on the platform, re quested Mr. Noyes to recite the lively 1 doings of this band of happy seamen the audience would have been denied the rich treat. | Professor Noyes included among his readings "The Lord of Misrule," "The Highway Man," "Salt Water," "Watch for Me by the Moonlight" and "Origin of Life." Professor Noyes, in prefacing his reading of one of the poems on the trawlers guarding the English coas* against the submarines, stated that for every six boats sunk by German sub marines, one is destroyed by these trawlers. He expressed the opinion that th next two .months would see the end of the ruthless U-boat cam paign. The lecture was delivered under the auspices of the Princeton Alumni As sociation of Central Pennsylvania. Fellows, Here Is a Chance at a Second Lieutenancy in the U. S.
